Amber the Maker is a children storybook about an 8-year-old amputee. She gets bullied on her swimming team because she is too slow in the relay races. One day as she is about to give up, Gentling, a friendly imaginary dragon appears. He will bring Amber on a journey of discovery in maker culture where she will learn how to 3D print her own prosthetic terminal swimming attachment.

Amber the Maker is supported by the Canadian Commission for UNESCO. It has been translated in several languages and this is the Hindi version. For more information on the project: https://educationmakers.ca/project/amber-the-maker/
